About Tranquilizer
Product Description Look Mom – no pro tools. As with their debut Make A Friend LP, West Coast indie rock artists Recliner recorded and mixed Tranquilizer entirely analog for a warm, buttered-bacon sound that tone freaks everywhere will enjoy sinking their ears into. And while the contagious hooks and driving rhythms are still there in heaps, Tranquilizer finds the band exploring a more confident range of headspace - from the melancholy 'Leaving Hollywood' to the frenetic 'Float Away.' Recliner also increased their sound palette this time around, relaxing their guitars/bass/drums formula to include bassoon, Wurlitzer, and yes, even a Juno 60 synthesizer. Memorable backing vocals are also provided compliments of the Hill sisters from We Are Invisible (weareinvisible.com). The result is a fuller, multi-dimensional sound that reveals a little more with each listen. Considering that Make A Friend spawned two nationally-recognized videos (Fuse TV, RollingStone.com), as well as licensing tracks for three MTV show soundtracks and the platinum-selling ESPN 2K5 series of videogames, Tranquilizer has a lot to live up to. One listen should prove that it’s up to the challenge. Review "It's kind of unavoidable to like Recliner because the tracks are just so catchy." --Left Off The Dial (.com) --Left Off The Dial, Fall 2005 "...singer/guitarist Kevin Seidel is one of the best rock vocalists I've heard in a long time." --The Davis Enterprise Newspaper “High energy, catchy hooks, infectious rhythms and vocals that stick in your head for days...” --Performer Magazine, Summer 2005 From the Artist We used some of the very same chords that appear in the best rock songs of all time in the making of this album. Also the analog tape thing, that's important. Engineered by Aaron Prellwitz, it was recorded at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone Studios in SF over the course of two weekends, four bottles of tequila, three cases of beer, and a lot of good takeout food. We hope you'll enjoy listening to this album as much as we did playing on it. About the Artist Born out of the Bay Area economic and indie music depression of the early 00s, Recliner is equal parts neurotic, melodic, relentless, defiant - perfect listening for washing your car, or driving it over a cliff. In just over a year, the band made some noise as a closer for Noise Pop SF, did a club tour of Japan, and had a video in rotation on FUSE music television. The band's music has been featured on the MTV shows Made, Meet the Barkers and Trailer Fabulous, and their latest video appeared in the RollingStone.com newsletter - not bad for a band that's barely been together for two years.
